Ricardo,
That is not what the representative at MyApple told me when I checked last
week. It is confusing though as they list the same model number but have a
separate listing for the Gsm model versus the CDMA model, even though you
can roam internationally with the CDMA model.

Hi,
This is actually not true. all iPhone 5 phones with the exception of the
one released for T-mobile in February, have all the same radios. And if you
own your phone out right on Verizon, an unlock code should make it possible
for you to use that phone on AT&T’s network.

Donald,
Unfortunately it's not possible to use a Verizon phone on the AT&T
network. The two carriers use different radio technologies. Of the big
four carriers Verizon and Sprint use CDMA technology for cellular service
while AT&T and T-Mobile use GSM. It's not even possible to switch the
phones between the two CDMA carriers.

An acquaintance is using an iPhone 5 on Verizon. He is considering
switching to A T and T. Not sure why anyone in his right mind would want
to do that. But, be that as it may, he wants to know if the iPhone 5 will
work if he merely puts an A T and T nano sim in the phone; or, is it
locked to Verizon in such a way that it won't work on A T and T. He is not
interested in an international unlock, he merely wants to switch to A T
and T. Incidentally, since the 5 came out less than a year ago, I suspect
that he is still under contract to Verizon; so that may be an issue.
Thanks for any clarification on the phone's usability on A T and T.
